The table shows the distances, in metres, between six vertices, A, B, C, D, E and F, in a network.
(a) Draw the weighted network using the vertices given in Diagram 1 in the answer booklet. (3)
(b) Use Kruskal’s algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree. You should list the edges in the order that you consider them and state whether you are adding them to your minimum spanning tree. (3)
(c) Draw your tree on Diagram 2 in the answer booklet and find its total weight. (2)
